Jennifer Garner Is Reportedly Ready to File for Divorce

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are reportedly divorcing. Earlier today, it was reported that Garner is ready to file for divorce from fellow-actor Affleck, with whom she has three children. The couple first announced their decision to separate in June 2015. At the time of the initial announcement, the pair had been married for almost exactly ten years. And while people may have now acclimated to the idea that the duo are going their separate ways, at first, the news stirred up strong emotions for many people, regardless of whether they had been die-hard Bennifer fans before. Garner went on to speak about the matter in an interview with Vanity Fair, in which she poignantly called Affleck the love of her life.

Since the summer of 2015, both Garner and Affleck have had more than a few professional developments in their respective careers. Affleck's hotly-anticipated Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice was released, but performed poorly at the box office. Similarly, his film Live by Night received negative reviews from critics. But Affleck isn't the only one who had a film out last year. Garner starred in Miracles from Heaven, which was released in March of 2016. Both actors will no doubt continue to pursue their work in Hollywood in the years ahead. As they do, let's hope that they both receive the privacy and respect they deserve.
